To add I have a Security 1.0 GDO and hence the Native AppleKit did not work for me and had to shift to ESPHome.
If you’re new to Homebridge, I suggest you read the user documentation on how to setup a child bridge, etc. It’s not strictly necessary to get up and running, but it’s a best practice as I mentioned in my own documentation.
Assuming you don’t have firewalls/VLANs - none of which I will provide support for - your Ratgdo devices should simply show up in the webUI and in HomeKit, ultimately, without further configuration. I would advise you to use the Homebridge Discord and the ratgdo community channel for configuration support. The issue reporting here is primarily for troubleshooting bugs with the plugin and from your description, your issues are in setup and configuration - please use the community Discord. I’m there as well and can provide some guidance. Best of luck!

Describe the problem
Installed ratgdo few months ago and was using the MQTT protocol however it stopped working for some reason and then installed ESPHome firmware based on articles. I followed the instructions on https://github.com/hjdhjd/homebridge-ratgdo#readme And after install I am able to go to the IP address and trigger the garage open/close feature. However when I install the homebridge-ratgdo plugin I do not see any options for setup or config. In addition I do not see an option to setup as child bridge. Not sure what is causing the problem - end result not showing up in HomeKit. Please advise.
